BS House was built upon a relatively flat, treeless area. Unlike most of Tapalpa, which is covered with lush coniferous forests, the landscape surrounding the house appears alien; colored in ochres and sepias, and sprinkled with boulders and patches of high grasses. The building rests on a hill overlooking a ravine which descends to a small lake, and offers uncanny views of a vast plain and the mountains beyond.

B屋建在一个相对平坦、无树的地区。塔帕尔帕的大部分地区都被茂密的针叶林所覆盖，房子周围的景观看起来很陌生；颜色是淡黄的和海棠色的，上面撒着巨石和大片的高草。这座建筑坐落在一座小山上，可以俯瞰一条峡谷，峡谷一直延伸到一个小湖，还能看到广阔的平原和更远的山脉的奇观。

At first glance, the BS house appears as a horizontal stone-clad volume half buried in the ground. Our goal was to obstruct the views of the land as little as possible, hence the building’s discreet disposition as it conforms to the terrain.

乍一看，这座BS屋看起来像是半埋在地下的水平石板卷。我们的目标是尽可能少地阻挡土地的景色，因此建筑物的布局要谨慎，因为它符合地形。

The front façade, which faces north, displays a rather solid character. It is only partially visible behind a stone retaining wall which is cut at the center by a wide stair that provides access to the property. The steps land on an open passageway which runs between the house and the retaining wall as it steps down in response to the changes in topography. This open space is flanked by a row of trees that will conceal the architecture when fully grown. The rear façade of the house consists almost entirely of operable full height windows that allow for great views and increased thermal comfort inside the building.

正面朝北，显示出一个相当坚实的特征。它只在一块石头挡土墙后面部分可见，它在中间被一个宽阔的楼梯切割，提供了进入房产的通道。台阶降落在一个开放的通道上，该通道在房屋和挡土墙之间运行，而挡土墙则随着地形的变化而下降。这片空地两旁是一排树木，这将掩盖建筑时，完全长大。房子的后立面几乎完全由可操作的全高度窗户组成，这些窗户可以看到更大的景致，并增加建筑物内的热舒适性。

The program is resolved in two large blocks, separated by a transversal corridor that follows in the direction of the front steps and splits the house right down the middle. The west block contains all the public areas of the house. The living, dining and kitchen spaces are all clustered on a single ample space which in turn bleeds out into a terrace and a game room. The garage, pantry, laundry room and all other service and auxiliary spaces are located at the far end of this block. Many of the interior as well as exterior partitions throughout the house are in fact operable and can be hidden from sight to connect all the public program.

该项目在两个大区块中得到解决，由一个横向走廊隔开，该走廊沿着前部台阶的方向延伸，并将房屋从中间向下拆分。西区包含了房子的所有公共区域。生活、餐饮和厨房的空间都集中在一个充足的空间上，这些空间又排入一个露台和一个游戏室。车库、食品室、洗衣房以及所有其他服务和辅助空间均位于该区域的远端。整个房子的许多内部和外部隔墙实际上是可操作的，并且可以隐藏在视线之外，以连接所有公共项目。

The east block, on the other side of the central corridor, contains the dormitories and descends gradually with the terrain while maintaining enough distance from the ground to allow visual privacy for all rooms. The sleeping quarters include three bedrooms and a master bedroom which stands as a discrete volume, detached from the rest of the BS house.

东街区位于中央走廊的另一边，包含宿舍，并随着地形逐渐下降，同时与地面保持足够的距离，允许所有房间的视觉隐私。寝室包括三间卧室和一间主卧室，这是一个独立的空间，独立于BS房子的其他部分。

The BS house stands stealthily in its environment and displays an almost archeological character next to the boulders that lie in the surrounding fields. The project uses regional materials and is clad almost entirely with dry stacked flagstone. The parota millwork, stone floors and the exposed structural steel elements complete the house’s material palette. The volume containing the master bedroom is clad with a steel sheet skin and gives off a tarnished gloss which sets it apart from the opaque, rugged nature of the rest of the house.

这座BS房子隐秘地矗立在周围的环境中，在周围田野里的巨石旁边展现出一个近乎考古的特征。该项目采用区域性材料，几乎完全覆盖着干式堆叠石板。帕罗塔磨坊，石材地板和暴露的结构钢元素完成了房子的材料调色板。包含主卧室的空间被一层钢板覆盖，散发出一种褪色的光泽，这使它有别于房子其他部分的不透明、崎岖的本质。
